Diagnosis and treatment
How we diagnose orthopedic trauma injuries
A clear diagnosis helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Orthopedic trauma injuries may involve several bones, joints, or soft tissues, so prompt evaluation is important. Your assessment may include a review of how the injury occurred, a physical exam, and diagnostic testing to determine its location and severity.
Diagnostic testing may include digital X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans.
Treatment options
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury
Nonsurgical care may include casts, splints, or braces to stabilize the injury; reduction techniques to realign displaced bones or joints; physical therapy and rehabilitation; medications or injections for pain management; and close monitoring as healing progresses.
When surgery is necessary, treatment may include open reduction and internal fixation using plates, screws, or rods; external fixation for severe fractures or complex injuries; ligament or tendon repair or reconstruction; joint replacement for irreparable damage; or surgical debridement and wound closure for severe soft-tissue injuries.
